The drive-in campground has 29 sites with tables and stoves, bulletin board and pit toilets and water from the creek. Reyes Creek is stocked with trout in the spring when the water flow is strong.

Just back of the upper end of the campground is the north trail head for Gene Marshall Piedra Blanca National Recreation Trail.

Surveyor Name:Sam McCoy
Camp Description:Nice campground that is currently half reservation/ half first-come first-serve. Would recommend trying to get a reservation if you are going on the weekend, as I lucked out on someone's cancellation. 

Would recommend sites 4-6 and 18-20. Other sites are pretty small for a tent and close together. Really wish we could mandate no amplified music ever, as my kid goes to bed early and we had 2 different stations going on around us, which drowned out the sound of the flowing creek. Sucks.

The river walk is nice, mellow and my 8-year old had a blast.
